3-10 feet this century; maybe more. It could be more. Apparently, there have been periodic collapses of the Antarctic ice sheets. When that happens, there are large "pulses" where thousands of icebergs are released over the span of a few years to a few decades. While it does take some time for those icebergs to melt, they start displacing their mass in the water as soon as they are floating. So there can be dramatic rises of sea level in a very short period of time.
